How did this genre help me explain my topic?
After I first decided my question/topic, I did not know where to start, but writing a research paper helped me organize a structure, and decide on key points that I would like to deliver to the reader. To write a research paper I had to, of course, begin with researching. By learning factual evidence I was able to link the two generation of teenagers, and how they differ. New questions were brought up to my head, such as What are the things that makes these differences?, that I answered in my research paper because I thought the readers would be curious as well. It is good that viewers can start with reading the research paper to collect factual information and keep that in mind while observing/reading the other genres that follow.
